2017 Milestones

The Bedford Institute of Oceanography

Canada's premier centre for oceanographic research provides advice and support on ocean issues including safe navigation,
offshore energy development, sustainable fishing, climate change, and protecting marine biodiversity and aquatic species at risk.

Comprised of more than 600 employees from six federal government departments, the Institute has become a welcomed part
of its community by providing public tours and exhibitions; and by partnering with local universities, industry, and community groups.

The year 2017 marks the 55th anniversary of Canada's largest ocean research centre - the Bedford Institute of Oceanography.
In celebration of this milestone, you are invited to learn about the Institute's various oceanographic research initiatives with an
Ocean Science EXPO .
